Innate Abilities

• Innate passives: TBD (pending canonical content).
• Elemental traits: TBD.

Latent Abilities

• Unlocks/conditional: TBD.

• Light infantry for hostile ninja factions (e.g., Kojimigakure cells): rotate between shuriken volleys and short blade rushes.
• Use smokescreen + reposition; smoke is flammable and can be blown away by wind skills.
• Morale brittle: killing the squad leader or cutting supply lines makes them flee or surrender intel.
• Narrative hook: can appear as ambushers in forests/rooftops; sparing captives may unlock stealth routes or local reputation.

• Confirm canonical faction ownership (Kojimigakure splinters vs. hired blades).
• Define loot tables: smoke bombs, kunai bundles, intel documents?
• Clarify detection rules: do they react to loud combat elsewhere or hold patrol routes only?
